Dear Praying Friends,Can you believe it is February already? This month holds many exciting things for our family, including the upcoming trip to Peru but especially thrilling is our daughter Eva's THIRTEENTH birthday on February 7 (yes, while Mommy is away but we are going to celebrate ahead of time!!)Thank you for your continued prayers for the pro-life conference trip to Peru and for our group's travels which commence at 1:45 AM this coming Wednesday. We do have a special prayer request at this time for one of our group named Elisa. She is a college student who has been a great blessing to our church as one of our youth leaders and a Sunday School teacher.Last month, her mother Grace (who also attends our church and is a widow) was hospitalized due to severe high blood pressure. This week we learned that as a result Grace has lost sight in one eye and doctors have told her she will go completely blind within the year. Per doctor's orders she is unable to continue working and due to ongoing health concerns needs 24/7 company at this time. In order for Elisa to travel with us they will need to find someone to fill this need during the week we are in Peru.Please pray that God will make His will clear for Elisa to travel with us, and even more importantly pray for His peace and provision for this family. Pray that as a church we will live out James 1:27 and find ways to minister to Grace in her need. Thank you for your partnership in prayer!In Christ,Pedro & Stephanie
